Hi admin,

I tried to install Solaris 2.5.1 recommended patches.
I was in single user mode, but it didn4t work well.

The kernel patch is 103640-14, and I tried install 103640-38.

Some messages like these are logged at
/var/sadm/install_data/Solaris_2.5.1_Recommended_log :

===================

The installation of patch 104578-04 was interrupted.

patch.

====================

But, the showrev command and uname show different things:

 showrev -p | grep 103640-38
Patch: 103640-38 Obsoletes: 103591-09, 103658-02, 103920-05, 103600-18,
103609-
02, 104317-01, 106623-01, 103612-51, 103615-04, 103654-01, 104447-01,
107239-01,
 104915-10, 104594-03, 103696-05, 103847-02, 104490-07 Packages:
SUNWcar, SUNWa
rc

 uname -v
Generic_103640-14

I use find command, and any file was changed at /usr, /kernel.

Could someone give any tips, suggestions about where showrev command
find the information about installed patches?

Thanks in advance.

Vera
